Re: Hi I have dots all over my tv. Please help

This is a 2006 model and depending on what the problem looks like there are only Two boards inside that can cause this. If the dots are fixed and black I would suspect the DMD board: Part number is : BP96-01670a List price is 182.40 If the dots move and or are colored I would suspect the MAIN board that processes all signal: Part number is: BP94-02291a List price is 186.76 Both boards may be available for less if you Google the parts number and or the model number. These part numbers are from the Samsung site and should be marked on each board. Let me know if you have questions or need any advice, I am here to help you. SD TECH

I don't know who you have been talking to but there is not such thing as a DLP "chip".

Understand some experts here are not expert at anything except shall we say bs?

I make you a sincere offer. Provide me with a photo of what it looks like (it can be posted here or elsewhere) and I will try to narrow it down.

This is off topic but some so called experts here like to guess and have no hands on knowledge of having actually repaired sets like this one.

Whoever told you "DLP chip" search the user name they have here and check their record out--it will show how many they have helped and how many thought the help was not helpful.....

This aside, this set consists of circuit boards and if I was you I would hope one of the two indicated is bad as if not the light engine (Which the DMD board is a part of) is rather expensive and usually makes the set not worth fixing if it has to be replaced.

It is later here in California but I will be around for a while longer. You got Yahoo IM?

If the dots move around - the signal is weak. Since you didn't tell us what is the source of the signal i can't say more than - get a better signal.
If the dots are fixed and they don't change color - the DLP chip is dying, you will have to replace it. It will be expensive, let's hope it's still in warranty.

In that case your problem is surely with the DMD chip - the chip from the DLP module that forms the image - it's dying, cannot be repaired and must be fixed. Its model is BP96-01670A.

I had the same issues and the tech came out and replaced the main board... one way to tedt if it is the PDP is in the service menu.. run the plasam ttests and verify you don't see any dots. After replacement the tech checked all voltages and all is well.
